Chords and lyrics for Angel Mine by Cowboy Junkies (key of C).
Verse 1
Cowboy Junkies: Angel Mine
[C] [Am] [Em] [F] [C] [G]
He [C]searched for those wings that he[Am] knew
that this angel should[Em] have at her back.
And[F] although he can't find them
he[C] really don't mind
because he[G] knows they'll grow back.
And[C] he reached for that halo that [Am]he knows
that she had when she[Em] first caught his eye.
Although his[F] hand came back empty
he's [C]really not worried
because he[G] knows it still shines.
Chorus
[F] I can't promise that I'll[G] grow those wings
or[C] keep this tarnished[G] halo[F] shined
but I'll[F] never betray your[G] trust
angel[C] mine.
I [C]search all the time on the[Am] ground
for our shadows[Em] cast side by side.
[F]Just to remind me that I [C]haven't gone crazy
that you [G]exist and are mine
And I [C]know that your skin is as[Am] warm and as real
as that[Em] smile in your eyes.
[F]But I F have to keep touching and[C] smelling
and tasting for [G]fear it's all lies.
Chorus
[F] I can't promise that I'll[G] grow those wings
or[C] keep this tarnished[G] halo[F] shined
but I'll[F] never betray your[G] trust
angel[C] mine.
[C]Last night I awoke from the [Am]deepest of sleeps
with your [Em]voice in my head.
And I could [F]tell by your breathing
that [C]you were still sleeping
I [G]re-peated the words that you had said.
Chorus
[F] I can't promise that I'll[G] grow those wings
or[C] keep this tarnished[G] halo[F] shined
but I'll[F] never betray your[G] trust
angel[C] mine.
[F] I can't promise that I'll[G] grow those wings
or[C] keep this tarnished[G] halo[F] shined
but I'll[F] never betray your[G] trust
angel[C] mine.
